Remote Vehicle Start

If equipped with the remote start feature, the climate control system will come on when the vehicle is started remotely, depending on the outside temperature. The rear defog and heated and ventilated seats, if equipped, may also come on. To view available settings from the infotainment screen, touch Settings > Vehicle > Comfort and Convenience. If equipped, the automatic heated steering wheel may also come on. Laws in some communities may restrict the use of remote starters. Check local regulations for any requirements on remote starting of vehicles. Do not use remote start if the vehicle is low on fuel. The vehicle may run out of fuel.

The vehicle cannot be remote started if:

• The remote key is inside the vehicle or if the key is in the ignition.
• The hood is not closed.
• There is an emission control system malfunction and the lamp is on.
• The ignition is in any mode other than off.
• The hazard warning flashers are on.
• The 30 minutes of engine run time have been used.
• The vehicle is not in P (Park).

The engine will turn off during a remote vehicle start if:

• The coolant temperature gets too high.
• The oil pressure gets low.

The remote key range may be reduced while the vehicle is running. Other conditions can affect the performance of the remote key.

Starting the Engine Using Remote Start
Press S twice on the remote key. The turn signal lamps will flash. The lamps flash to confirm the request to remote start the vehicle has been received. During the remote start the parking lamps will remain on as long as the engine is running. The engine will shut off after 15 minutes or after the remainder of the 30 minute total running time is used, unless you stop the remote start before engine running has completed or the vehicle is turned on. Press the brake pedal and turn the ignition on to drive the vehicle.

Total Engine Run Time
Remote start can be used for up to 30 minutes of total engine run time. After two remote starts of 15 minutes, or multiple shorter time start totaling 30 minutes have been used, the vehicle must be started and then turned off before the remote start can be used again.

Cancelling a Remote Start
To cancel a remote start, do one of the following:

• Press S. The parking lamps will turn off.
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
• Turn the ignition on and then off.

Door Locks

Warning
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

• Passengers, especially children, can easily open the doors and fall out of a moving vehicle. The doors can be unlocked and opened while the vehicle is moving. The chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash is increased if the doors are not locked. So, all passengers should wear seat belts properly and the doors should be locked whenever the vehicle is driven.
• Young children who get into unlocked vehicles may be unable to get out. A child can be overcome by extreme heat and can suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat stroke. Always lock the vehicle whenever leaving it.
• Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you slow down or stop the vehicle. Locking the doors can help prevent this from happening.

There are several ways to lock and unlock the vehicle.

From outside:

• Use the remote key.
• Use Keyless Access, if equipped.
• Use the key in the driver door or the passenger door, if equipped.

From inside, pull the door handle once to unlock the door. Pull the handle again to open the door.

Keyless Access
If equipped, the remote key must be within 1 m (3 ft) of the tailgate or door being opened or locked. Press the button on the door handle to open. See “Keyless Access Operation” in Remote Key Operation 0 7.

Free-Turning Locks
The door key lock cylinder turns freely when either the wrong key is used, or the correct key is not fully inserted. The free-turning door lock feature prevents the lock cylinder from being forced open. To reset the lock cylinder, ensure the correct key is fully inserted into the lock cylinder. Rotate the key until you feel the lock cylinder click back into place. Remove the key and reinsert fully. Rotate the key to unlock the vehicle.

Automatic Door Locks
The doors will lock automatically when all doors are closed, the ignition is on, and the shift lever is moved out of P (Park). If a vehicle door is unlocked and then opened and closed, the doors will lock either when your foot is removed from the brake or the vehicle speed becomes faster than 13 km/h (8 mph).

To unlock the doors:

• Press K on a power door lock switch.
• Shift the transmission into P (Park).

Automatic door locking cannot be disabled. Automatic door unlocking can be programmed. To view available settings for this feature, touch the Settings icon on the infotainment home page. Select “Vehicle” to display the list of available options and select “Power Door Locks”.

Lockout Protection
If the ignition is on or in accessory mode and the power door lock switch is pressed with the driver door open, all the doors will lock and only the driver door will unlock. If the vehicle is off and locking is requested while a door is open, when all doors are closed the vehicle will check for remote keys inside. If a remote key is detected and the number of remote keys inside has not reduced, the driver door will unlock and the horn will chirp three times. Lockout Protection can be manually overridden with the driver door open by pressing and holding Q on the power door lock switch.

Safety Locks
The rear door safety locks prevent passengers from opening the rear doors from inside the vehicle.

The safety lock is on the inside edge of the rear doors. To use the safety lock:

1. Move the lever down to the lock position.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.

To open a rear door when the safety lock is on:

1. Unlock the door by activating the inside handle, by pressing the power door unlock switch, or by using the remote key.
2. Open the door from the outside.

When the safety lock is enabled, adults and older children will not be able to open the rear door from the inside. Cancel the safety locks to enable the doors to open from the inside.

To cancel the safety lock:

1. Unlock the door and open it from the outside.
2. Move the lever up to unlock. Do the same for the other door.

Doors

Tailgate

Warning
It is extremely dangerous to ride on the tailgate, even when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. People riding at the tailgate can easily lose their balance and fall in response to vehicle maneuvers. Falling from a moving vehicle may result in serious injuries or death. Do not allow people to ride on the tailgate. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly. Use the remote key to lock and unlock the tailgate. If your tailgate handle has a key cylinder, you can use the mechanical key to lock it as well.

Open the tailgate by lifting up on its handle while pulling the tailgate down. To shut the tailgate, firmly push it upward until it latches. After closing the tailgate, pull it back to be sure it latches securely.

Tailgate Mid-Position
If equipped, the mid-position of the tailgate is used to carry sheets of plywood or other similar types of cargo.

To open the tailgate to the mid-position:

1. Lift up on the handle to unlatch the tailgate.
2. Partially lower the tailgate enough to access the brackets on either side of the tailgate.
3. Hook the cables into each bracket.
4. Let the tailgate rest on the cables and slowly lower it as far as it will go.

Vehicle Security
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make the vehicle impossible to steal.

Vehicle Alarm System
If equipped with the anti-theft alarm system, the indicator light on the instrument panel near the windshield indicates the status of the system. The theft-deterrent alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the mechanical key. If the driver door is opened without first unlocking with the remote key, the horn will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing K on the remote key during the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated. If a door or the hood is opened without first disarming the system, the turn signals will flash and the horn will sound for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will then re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized event.
